Summer Math Camp!

  This week we had summer Math Camp here at the Cottage.  We were so excited to incorporate math into our everyday by designing lessons that created opportunities for real-life problem solving and skill practice.

We began each day with a problem to solve....we learned about different strategies to solve the problem, including acting it out!  We worked with money, time, quick combinations of 10 and 20, probability, fractions, and operations.  Technology was a big part of our learning this week as well.  So many math apps, so little time!

We also explored numbers using the game "Shut the Box".   We loved this game and discovering all the number combinations we could use to beat it!   : o )

The week finished up with a trip to the splash pad to test our knowledge of predictions and probability, along with some Hopscotch math to test our knowledge of operations with numbers.

We had a blast, and I can't wait for our next Cottage Learning Camp! : o )
